Notes

The Yarmouths and Presumpscots will
play the first Of series Of five games Tor the
row at the Portland grounds, and much in
terest is taken in the game, as they are old
time rivals.
Games today-Salem at Portland, Lowell
at Manchester and Lynn at Haverhill.
A dispatch from Indianapolis says that
and in the field. and that Carroll will replace
him.
The Herald report yesterday that Dick
Burns would play with Portland was only
Burns has signed with Lowell and will prob
ably play right field for them, Duffey going
TO third base and Shinnick laying of.
Bishop is a puzzler. He keeps opposing
batsmen all the time wondering whether his
curve is epicycloidal or pitroch0id.-Lowell
Times.
The item Thursday, in which comparison
was made Of the work Of the old Portland
and Lowell pitchers, was written before the
full score was received and on the strength
Of the number Of base hits made. 1t turns
out that whatever credit the pitching called
for is due TO DAWN and not to ClarksOn. We
beg the LowelPs pitchers pardon for COM
pairing them to the latter as IL Is doubtful il
they ever pitched three such bad innings as
he did Wednesday.
Although the Portlands have released two
pitchers they are by no means weak In the
oox. Hatfield and DAWN are both in good
form, and in Wednesdays game the Salems
got only one clean hit and scratch off the
latter in the six innings that he pitched.
Small is always reliable and young Callinan
bids fair to be Clarkson's equal, If not bis
superior.
Manager Putnam protested yesterdays
game on account of Jordan. tie Is rather
behind the times as 1t was admitted at the
last league meeting that the Portlands had
the right to play him in games, and yester-
days was his fourth.
Williams has been released by Manchester.
1t is a good riddance as he has been q mill
stone on their neck, and has lost many games
for them when he could have won II he had
half tried
In one inning at Salem Wednesday Clark
son gave two men their bases on balls and
the third one had four balls and three strikes
called. The next ball was pitched so wild
that it went over the fence into the grass
and all three men scored.

RAILWAY MATTERS.
BOSTON AND MAINE.


Passenger Agent Flanders of the Boston
and Maine, at the hearing at Concord, stated
that since the Boston and Maine had leased
the Eastern there had been general reduc-
in passenger rates. The reduction had been
from two, three and five per cent. up to six
per cent. The average decrease had been at
least ten per cent The annual passenger
business of the Boston and Maine being over
S4.0O0,0 600 annually, the corporation would
lose by the reduction of fares 100000. Be
fore the lease the rates were from three to
five and six cents a mile. Now there Is a
uniform maximum of three cents q mile.
The lowest local rate is two cents q mile.
This low rate is for suburban travel, and ex-
tends from Boston as far as Salem on the
Eastern and Reading on the main line
There has been no increase since the lease
was made.
MAINE CENTRAL.
The new cars for the vestibule train are Of
great length, and seat some forty passengers
In the saloon, state and smoking rooms, into
which three compartments they are divided.
While the smoking end Is finished in Eng
lish qGartered oak, the remainder is of ma
hogany. Carpets are OF the best Wilton,
curtains Of raw silk and seats upholstered in
blue plush. The lamps are of silver gilt Of
handsome design. A portion of the windows
are bay windows, and besides the usual buff
fet, common to the Pullman service, well
stocked library OF choice works is handsome
ly encased in each car.
As now run, the Mount Desert limited,
consisting of dining car and three drawing
room coaches, all from the Pullman Compa-
ny, and connected la vestibule system, is
one that both the Pullman and Boston and
Maine management have every reason to
feel proud Of.
b.. 40. AIR LINE.
The Somerset Reporter says that Mr.. ID.
A. Stewart surveyor Of the Boston and
Quebec Air Line, has been ordered to disc0n-
tinue the survey. The delay caused by the
adverse action of the commissioners, has
caused certain capitalists that were interest
ed in the project, to pull out and the effect
this will have upon the enterprise is not
known. Mr.. Stewart had completed the
survey to within eight miles Of The Forks.
| The arrival Of Mr.. Keene is awaited in
| Skowhegan with considerable interest.
NOTES.
The Boston and Maine Railroad Company
has within few days added six new passen-
ger cars to its equipment, which were built
at the WasOn Works at Springfield. They
have the Mann roofs and the Mann system
Of ventilators. They are handsomely fn-
ished in mahogany and upholstered with red
plush, and are run on local trains.

Invitations to the President

The President today received telegram
from Senator Harris, saying that the commit
tee of 100 citizens of Memphis are coming to
Washington to invite the President to visit
that city during his western trip. The Pres
ident telegraphed Senator Harris to use his
influence to prevent any movement of the
sort. He said that while he will always be
pleased to sec the people of Tennessee at the
capital, he thinks they ought to be spared
the long journey. when written invitation
by mail would be as effectual, and as much
appreciated Similar answers will be sent
to other western cities where arrangements
are being made to send invitations by COM
mittee. The President will give the same
consideration to invitations received by mail
as to those borne by committees.
The Philadelphia delegation selected to
formally invite the President to attend the
Constitutional Centennial Celebration in
that city, called at the Executive Mansion
today, and had an interview. with the Presl-
dent, who accepted the invitation for Sept.
18th, 10th and 18th, and left the arrangement
of details to the committee.

The SYRACUSE Labor conventIon.

NEW YORK, Suly 2S.-Henry George in
the Standard, under date of July 30th. will
say that there is not likely to be any dispute
over the platform to be adopted by the SYRIA
cuse Labor Convention. The principles of
summed up in the phrase, mo monopoly" Z"
are those on which the new parties consoli-
dated. He will also say that Socialists of
the German school, who form a section OF
the party more influential by their activity
than by their numbers, must be contented
as wiser heads among them must recognize
the hopelessness of opposing their destruc-
tive notions to the ideas of Individual free
dom of action, which are so strongly held by
great majority of the American people.

- poRrIANps. 10: sALEMs. 4.

About 5Co people witnessed an unintefestt.
ing game yesterday, the heavy batting and
fine fielding of the champions being too much
for the Salems and robbing the game Of any
special interest. Small pitched fine game
for Portland, giving but one man his base on
balls, and he was admirably supported be-
hind the bat by Thayer. The way he was
backed up by the team was enough to make
him do good work, only one fielding error
being made. Fitzgerald was in the box for
the visitors and for four innings held the
home team down to three hits. After that
they batted him freely and earned five runs.
The fielding of the visitors was fairly good
with the exception of that Of Campana who
is entitled to some excuse on the ground Of a
bad hand.
The Portlands scored one run in the first
inning. Andrus hit safe, took second on a
Wild throw, third on put out and scored on
by DAWN, who got his base on balls, stole
second, went to third on put outa scored
on JOrdan's hit Two hits, base on balls,
steal and wild pitch added two more in the
9th and two singles and two bagger one in
the 9th. The score was doubled in the 7th.
and a base on balls. The eleventh run was
scored in the 9th by Jordan, who hit safe,
stole second, took third on put out and
came home on the return of the ball. The
visitors did not score until the 3rd, when
Farrell hit over the left field fence for a
home run. They were blanked in the 4th and
9th, and in the 9th two runs were added on
three hits and put out. In this inning
Campana got three bagger, but f0olishly
tried to score on Rays hit to Small and was
put out. Their fourth and last run was
added in the 9th by Donovan on two hits, a
wild throw and a put out
Jordan did fine work for the Portlands
with the bat and in running basCg. His base
stealing was feature as he has a slide that
nearly equals Wheelock's in ground taken
and advantage gained. Andrus led in the
batting and Schoeneck's S first base play was
feature of the fielding. Dickerson also COW
cred second in excellent style. The work of
Farrell on second base was perhaps the best
feature of the Salem's play, but there was
nothing else that calls for special mention.
Rafferty,, the new man, umpired and was
not a success. His judgment on balls and
strikes was poor, and his base decisions moi
much better. He is young and inexperi.
enced, and to this may be attributed the
most Of the trouble as his intentions seemed
to be honest The scOre.

THE SEIZED FISHERMEN.
Consul General Phelan Proposes to
Find Just Where They Were.

WASHINGTON, July 2S-The Secretary of
State has received despatch from Consul
General Phelan, at Halifax, today, saying
that he is investigating the recent seizures.
and has instructed the Consul at Charlotte
town, p. Z. L., to take measurements OF the
sea at the points where the seizures were
uade to establish the exact distance from the
shore.
HALIFAX, July 2s-The United States war
ship Yantic sailed this afternoon for the
North Bay fishing grounds
The report is confirmed that the Americans
who were in the seine boats seized at Souris,
were not allowed by the collector at that
port to return to Gloucester on other United
otates fishing vessels, as fishermen in dis
tress. U. 5. Consular Agent Carleton ap
piled 10 the Collector for permission to for
ward them, and the Collector said he could
not grant the application. He contended
that these was no necessity for the Consular
Agent to ask the customs officer whether the
men could proceed on American vessels, but
that if it was desired, he should have re-
quested the master of some vessel to take
them, which would not be violation of any
Canadian law or of the fisheries treaty. If
an American schooner happened in port he
presumed she would be there legally, taking
advantage of the privileges and rights ac-
corded to United States vessels, and as men
cast adrift, they would be carried home free.
The Consul is empowered to command the
captain OF VeSSel 10 accepb tne men, ana
the captain can not, under the American law
refuse to take them.
A telegram from Shelburne states that
Customs Collector Atwood, who holds the
Gloucester schooner Annie w. HodgsOn, de-
mands the payment of the expenses of the
seizure as we'll as the fine of S400, before he
will hand the vessel over to Capt. Morrison.
The expenses amount to few cents over
sly. The Consular Agent would not advise
Capt. Morrison to pay the additional amount
ard the schooner is still in the hands of the
customs authorities
Consul General Phelan has deposited with
Collector Ross, at Halifax, the fine, and the
latter telegraphed to the Shelburne collector
that the money had been paid.
A later despatch from Shelburne states
that the schooner Annie w. Hodgson has
sailed for sea, having been released by the
Collector.
An American Ship Seized.
A special from Shelburne says the ship
Bridgewater, belonging in New York, has
been seized there. The vessel was condemn
ed some time ago and sold at auction in
June. The purchaser was j. Allen of New
York, and the price paid was little over
$500. Allen came on from New York and
commenced to repair the vessel, work being
still in progress. The customs department
claims to be entitled to duty of 25 per cent
on the amount of the purchase money. and
as the owner refuses to pay it the vessel was
ordered to be seized.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
A Pension Agent Removed for In
suitIng the President.

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-Some weeks ago,
Gen. Black, Commissioner of Pensions, with
the approval of the Secretary of the Interi-
or, ordered the dismissal of G. E. Behle,
special pension examiner at Cincinnati, up
ON information that Behle, at a meeting of a
German literary society in that city, on July
I'd last, and in the hearing of large compa-
ny used grossly insulting language toward
the President of the United States. Subse-
quently the Secretary ordered a suspension
of the order of dismissal, until Behle could
be heard in his own behalf. Behle appeared
at the Interior Department Tuesday, and
was given personal hearing by the Secre-
tary. He did not deny the charge. AT the
conclusion of the interview the Secretary re-
voked his order of suspension, thus dismiss
ing Behle from the service.

CLARKsON FINED AND RELEASED.
Owing to the poor work of young Clarkson
in recent games and the causes that led to it,
the management last night imposed heavy
fine on him and gave him his release. The
young man has made mistake by forcing
this action on the part Of the management as
he loses the support of the best team
in the league and the coaching of one the
best managers in the country. He will
probably regret that he did not conduct him
self in manner to retain 1t.
Quinn has also been released by the Port
lands. His case differs from Clarkson's very
much, as he took the best Of care of himself
and tried to get his arm in condition. 1t IS
to be regretted that he has to go as he has
been faithful player and Portland people
like to have such on their team. The man
agement reluctantly took this step, but with
lame arm he could be of no service to them.
